Questions people ask before booking.
How early should I schedule a pre-move cleanout?
Choose a date after the main keep and move decisions but early enough that the cleared space helps packing. Confirm availability directly.
Can the crew help me decide what to keep?
The owner should make those decisions. The crew can follow clearly marked groups and confirm the removal scope before work starts.
What if I am still packing?
Keep active packing areas and removal areas physically separate. Share any rooms that are not ready so the scope can be planned accurately.
Make the last load easier to plan.
Send the item list, wide photos, address, access notes, and the date the space needs to be clear.
